Well Bluesmoke, it sounds like ...yourslef, isn't it. I bet you were told way too many times that you are on your way to an early grave before this WOE too? But now of ocurse, you know EVERYTHING about benefits of living in ketosis!All ppl may confuse reality with their wishes regardless of the diet plan, you may think that you are doing your body a favor by eating no carbs, while I think that I'm doing right thing eating some. I don't insist that you shoul eat carbs, please, don't but don't tell me that I can't do it either
I should probably clarify this: I don't believe in any "studies" and "evidence" that associate our ancestor's lived millions years ago with ketogenic diet. They indeed been in ketosis for the most part of their life due to food shortage, not deliberatly avoiding carbs. LOL As for some links I provided, it's mostly since my opponent denied very well known fatcs. There is a slight difference in the studies performed in the past 50 years and anecdotal "evidence" of perfect health and associated diet of prehistorical (before agriculture) humans. These studies I don't found creditable, it's all speculations. BTW, you've been low carbing since May 2002, it's about 2.5 years and only lost 74 pounds, more than a modest weight loss on a very low carb diet. I've lost 35 pounds literally in 2 month at the begining by just watching not only carbs, but mostly fat intake.
